It took just 45 minutes for the Pleasanton City Council on Tuesday night to rezone 73 acres in various parts of the city to accommodate high-density housing that will be more affordable for those in the city's workforce and others who want to live here.

Lets call it what it is, "Welfare Housing". It is subsidized housing, and there are also no time limits so you can be taking 'welfare housing' for the rest of your life. Anybody who receives this, know this, and then there is no incentive to do better. Why would somebody who receives welfare housing forever want to make more money to move into a market rate home that costs more, and thus the additional money they make just goes to the market rate home.

.....Tom Harvey....of course she doesn't! What do you suppose she is afraid of.
I understand tho that this Walmart Neighborhood Market is a done deal.
Oh poor Safeway.....they are not going to ever be happy about this.
